Esscom oversight committee to ensure smooth information sharing

By V. ANBALAGAN AND AISYAH SULAIMAN

NST

PUTRAJAYA: The oversight committee for the Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) would ensure that cooperation and the sharing of information would run smoothly among the government agencies involved, said the Attorney General Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Patail today.

He said that the Minister in charge of Esscom, along with the oversight committee's chief executive officer, will spearhead the move to make sure that a complete exchange and access of information be made available to safeguard our waters.

"We would also register the illegal immigrants and stateless persons that are placed in resettlement areas, so we would know that they are from that area," he said.

Speaking at a press conference on Esscom, Ghani proceeded to further explain on the new action after the Prime Minister's announcement that Esscom would be enforced starting today.

He said the locals that are resettled would be compensated adequately, and they would not be moved out from their district.

He also emphasised that Esscom will not give extra powers to any particular body,and he explained that it was not a declaration of emergency, rather, it was an exercise of existing powers within the armed forces.

LAHAD DATU UPDATES : NUR MISUARI - AL-JAZEERA

Published on Mar 20, 2013

Armed Filipino men are challenging the Malaysian government's power over the province, claiming that this land belongs to the Sultan of Sulu who lives in the Philippines.

"We have achieved something tremendous in our quest for peace in our homeland as well as of course enhancing the freedom of our people. We had to fight for it and in fact we have lost hundreds of thousands of lives just to be able to reach this point. The problem is that our homeland is so rich, not only in terms of history but [also] in terms of its resources, that's why so many people want to occupy this land. And they applied what they call the classical policy of divide and rule so that our people could not unite and fight as one nation to roll back all of these foreign aggressors."

- Nur Misuari, chairman of the Moro National Liberation Front

But the implications here could be severe for the region.

At stake could be the peace deal between the government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front's (MILF) leader Ibrahim Murad. The deal was designed to bring peace to Mindanao and allow the fighters there to build a semi-autonomous Islamic state, to be called Bangsamoro.

The party that brokered the deal was Malaysia. Its Muslim-dominated government used its influence with the Islamic fighters in Mindanao to bring the parties together. But now, there are allegations that members of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), the original Islamic insurgency group, feels sidetracked and has allowed some of its men to fight the Malaysian government presence in Sabah.

Which brings us back to where the conflict in Mindanao started - it is in places like this that the resistance against what they call Philippine colonialism was nursed.

The fighters would hide in the Muslim ghettos with sympathisers and in turn bring soldiers into the alleyways hungry for revenge. Every family speaks of those years with an overriding sense of loss.

The man who started it all back in the 1970s was Nur Misuari. With international backing he negotiated a separate deal with the government in the 1990s, but he never managed to reach the success MILF reached after splitting with his group.

Today, when we caught up with him in his home in Mindanao, we found a man who is clearly not happy with the current state of affairs. Talk to Al Jazeera speaks to Nur Misuari, the chairman of the MNLF about the crisis in Sabah and peace in the southern Philippines.

Malah, Perdana Menteri menegaskan bahawa kerajaan pimpinannya sedia ditolak oleh rakyat jika gagal mengotakan setiap janji demi masa depan mereka dan negara. Sehubungan itu katanya, kerajaan BN akan sentiasa komited dalam menterjemahkan janji itu kepada segenap lapisan rakyat tanpa mengira parti serta fahaman politik. Justeru, beliau menyeru seluruh rakyat untuk sama-sama meneruskan perjuangan dengan memberi sepenuh kepercayaan agar kerajaan dapat terus melaksanakan tanggungjawab dengan berkesan bagi membela nasib mereka. "Kita berjuang untuk tunaikan janji kepada rakyat. Kita teruskan pembelaan pada rakyat. Jangan gusar dan goyah kerana kita berada di landasan betul mengikut sunnah dan al-Quran.
